Attention, Heroes!
It is our honor to announce the five winners of the Gaps in Dapps Challenge. We received a variety of fun, helpful, and out-of-the-box ideas in this challenge, which is exactly the kind of creativity we hoped to inspire. First, let's give a huge thank-you to everyone who submitted; please continue thinking about what services the world needs and keep an eye out for future opportunities to bring your ideas to life.
And now, for the challenge winners:
- Rentable Room by Ben
This submission proposed creating reservable rooms (such as a conference room, karaoke room, call cabin, coworking office, etc.) that can be reserved by claiming or buying NFTs on-chain, free (gas-only) or for-fees as chosen by a controller or current holder.
- eSports Leaderboard by Robertswww
Organized eSports competitions & professional gaming tournaments around the world need a safe, secure & reliable way to maintain & track high scores. Robert believes that the blockchain would be the ideal place to store the leaderboard results & offer proof of top scores.
- IncorporatIng Dapps into the Construction Industry by IKTINOS Solutions team
Iktinos aims to incorporate smart contracts into the Construction Industry, providing new investment opportunities for fiat & crypto assets
Their idea connects crypto assets to the traditional economy and transforms construction finance by providing new funding sources. Institutional & retail investors could benefit from less risky profits, since the construction sector is often more stable.
- Dapp'ing for Homeless by Persons RV2
Robert proposes a decentralized app that allows people to anonymously donate to homeless persons while being assured their donations are properly used.
A homeless person is given a gift card with a barcode. If a passerby scans/taps the card, they can donate an amount to the card. App settings control what goods or services the currency can be used to purchase. All parties remain anonymous.
- Food COOP DAO by Ashley Cribb
Food deserts around the country need help with fundraising. This dapp will assist coops and others around the country in becoming a DAO to help raise funds to further their mission to feed the hungry. This can help them to create grocery stores and accept fiat and tokens as payment.
These five submissions will be shared with the community over at the Buidl Web3 with Coinbase Cloud challenge, hopefully inspiring those competitors to take these ideas to the next level. Perhaps in a few weeks, you will see one of these concepts become an actual prototype!
Once again, congratulations to our winners!
